Orlando City vs DC United Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024
The home team will be aiming to put more misery on the Black and Reds.
Orlando City bounced back to winning ways in the last match as they secured an impressive away win against Toronto FC. Consistency has been the major issue in the team. The Lions have an impressive away record but their home form is a major concern. They are currently languishing in the 10th spot but will have to maintain their run as the relegation places are getting heated up.
DC United are going through a tough period at the moment after failing to win any of their last 10 matches. The Blacks and Reds are languishing at the bottom of the table in the MLS Eastern Conference. Despite the impressive goalscoring form of Christian Benteke, they have failed to maintain consistency. Pressure is mounting on the shoulders of Troy Lesesne who has to make some changes to get them firing again.

Players to Watch
Facundo Torres (Orlando City)
Facundo Torres has been brilliant for Orlando City this campaign after helping the team gather some important wins on the road. His versatility to play several positions has further cemented his importance in the side. This season he has made 23 appearances for the team scoring eight goals and providing assists for another three.
Christian Benteke (DC United)
Christian Benteke has improved his tally from last season with a quarter of games still to play. He scored 14 goals from the 18 appearances he has made so far. DC United missed his services in the last two matches after being suspended. Despite the team going through a poor run of form, Benteke has proved to be a lone warrior.
